1. Download the software in which you're
interested. These downloads are free and
you're under no obligation
what-so-ever
to purchase anything. The programs are fully functional as is. There
are no ads, subscriptions or other devices hooked into the
software.Yes, you read that right. For a long time we offered titles in
the
commercial world at the "going rates" which typically varied between
$50 and $300 for our products. We don't do that anymore. You can read
about our decision to make all of our titles freeware in the FAQ.

2. If and when you've decided that our neat stuff
is truly useful, we simply suggest a modest donation
further development and support of free and open resources. Totally on the honor system. Let your
conscience be your guide.

Donate

At
one time we used to take direct donations from folks who liked the
software, books and other resources found here. After a while we
started to re-donate those funds to other not-for-profit organizations
that made software tools that we found useful. These days we think it
would be easier to not be a middleman, and simply suggest that you
support one of the many organizations/individuals that create open
source tools or who work to keep the 'net open and free. Some ones we
like include Arduino, Open Office, Electronic Frontier Foundation, and Mozilla. If you donate, we'd appreciate an email letting us know that you did.
